It was a hot day, and we wanted to avoid the crowds in Glacier, so on a tip from Amber, we took a hike to Birch Lake, in Jewel Basin. Jewel Basin is south of GNP, and east of Flathead Lake. There are 36 lakes you can visit in the basin. It's designated for hikers only, and lots of backpackers frequent the area. Our trip took us to a pretty little lake, only 3 miles one way, plus another 1.8 miles if you want to go all the way around it, which we did.
